    Close both valves, the big one with the knob, and the one in the 2nd photo with an allen wrench inserted into the hole after unscrewing the hexagonal nut. After careful tightening, loosen the screws on the bottom of the bucket or other vessel and let out a few liters of water. when it stops dripping, unscrew the screws completely, lift the radiator slightly upwards and pull it away from the wall. To make the water drain better, you can loosen the plug, or if you have a vent at the top of the ladder.

    Buddy, you have a thermostatic valve there, so you should know that if the temperature in the room drops to about 6 degrees, the thermostatic valve will open and flood the apartment, this is an antifreeze function. It is good after removing the radiator to plug the hole on the valve with a blind nut and it will be sure. Regards.

    Radiator removed - unfortunately, both valves are permanently connected to a plastic water pipe. Can I do it myself or do I need a welder?
    Regards

    Do you have water in the system? If so, if you can, you need to drain the water and then unscrew the valve from the connector and screw it in place, plug it if you have a good one. If you can't drain the water, the valves will stick out (a bit dangerous).

    But I can't turn the valve - the water upstairs is closed.
    the valve from the point of connection with the plastic pipe protruding from the wall rotates without longitudinal movement.

    Hold on 1 and unscrew in 2 or 3

    It's better for 2 because maybe you can screw the plug on the 3rd.

    But the nut 1 comes off and the whole valve rotates in relation to the sleeve marked with an arrow.

    It could be that you have a valve with a clamp ring on the plastic. Pull the valve may come out of the valve.
    Or tighten nut 1 and try to unscrew 3 from 2.
    Show bought something.

    Try it, it's your tube and you know what's best. At most later, let me know what you did for posterity (preferably with a photo).
    Regards.

    Dude, the pipe is alupex, the connector is eurokonus, you have to pry this clamping ring and only then pull the connector out of the pipe, move it sideways a bit and it will come down, if you cut the pipes, then they will be too short and you will not put on the radiator, you will have to break the wall and extend them.

    Ok, but I won't be installing the radiator anymore. A room intended for the so-called graciarnia.
    So I am asking for advice on how best to close the wire and preferably flush with the wall.
    Regards

    My friend. on a par with the wall, you can't, unless you cut it in the wall and insert the plug deeper. If you have the opportunity, plug it in the distribution box, and then you will cut it right next to the wall and it will not interfere. Regards.

    Exactly as a colleague writes above, if you have instances from the manifold, then locate which radiator it is and unscrew it from the manifold and plug the exits from it, and the pipes are forged a little in the wall and cut, and if the installation is distributed from tees, you have to plug it in the wall, you can for this, use the connectors that you had screwed into the valves for this radiator, only you need to screw half-inch plugs into them, come on, it would be better to press the plugs on these pipes, but for this you need to have a crimper
